My Favorite Discontinued Sodas

Josta was the bomb, can’t believe they don’t make it anymore 😭 Anyone else remember the panther on the can? It tasted like guarana magic, nothing today comes close.

You missed Orbitz on your list! That drink with the floating balls in it was way ahead of its time, totally weird texture but cool af. Also, Crystal Pepsi... was it just me, or was it actually a superior Pepsi??

I agree. The company that made the soda, Clearly, also made Clearly Canadian.

Man, the memories with Clearly Canadian tho! Anyone else remember mixing it with their favorite drinks? Good times. btw didn't Clearly Canadian have a whole lineup with different flavors too?

Absolutely, @FizzNostalgia. Clearly Canadian had a variety of flavors like Mountain Blackberry and Wild Cherry. They crafted their beverages to embody the essence of the Canadian outdoors. Also, they’ve actually been making a comeback lately. You can find them at certain specialty stores if you hunt around.

Those were the days! Nothing beats cracking open a cold Clearly Canadian on a hot day. Haven't found anything quite like it these days, even with the resurgence of craft sodas. Hunting them down feels like a quest for the holy grail lol

crystal pepsi and surge were the real mvps of that era tho, Clearly Canadian was great n all but surge just hits different. they kinda brought it back but it's not the same. everything was better back in the day, these sodas had like, personality yknow?

Jolt Cola was my go-to during college all-nighters. I hoard a few cans I found in a dusty corner of an old shop, that high caffeine hit was unmatched! The 'twice the caffeine' slogan wasn't a joke, man I wish they'd bring it back for the nostalgia and the rush!

Hey, I collect soda cans and bottles, and Rondo has a special place in my collection. The slogan 'The Thirst Crusher' was pretty dope. Super rare to find one in good condition these days. If anyone's got one in mint condition, hit me up!

Four Loko though... that stuff was WILD. The good ol’ days before they took out all the fun parts, lol. Every college party had it, it was basically fuel for bad decisions.

Cocaine Soda seriously?? That name lmao, marketing was on something wild, guess it was fitting 😂 But really, talk about asking for trouble with the FDA.

Anyone else try making their own versions? I’ve been messing around with a soda stream trying to recreate Surge. It's not the same, but it's kinda close if you get the syrup mix right. Still working on the perfect ratio if y'all got tips.

Aspen was so underrated, that crisp apple taste was perfection. Remember how they marketed it as the 'soft drink with a one-of-a-kind great apple taste'? They weren't lying. Miss it everytime I go down the soda aisle.
